It aims to offer an insightful discourse on development interventions and solutions that have emerged from the independent and collaborative realms of public policy, entrepreneurship and social innovation. The Forum will interrogate whether it has led to enhanced capabilities of communities and individuals, increased socio-economic and political participation, mitigated social and economic exclusion, advanced global social justice and developed global citizenship.
There could be no better place than Kalahandi to host a conclave dedicated to effecting positive societal changes and exploring sustainable transformational solutions to world’s pressing challenges. Not long ago, Kalahandi epitomized under-development and had pricked the nation’s conscience for its inaccessibility, crippling famines, abject poverty, malnutrition, hunger and starvation. Today, Kalahandi is emerging as truly a remarkable development success story; owing to the right policies, proper implementation of development schemes, political will and innovative grassroots solutions. Thus, Kalahandi- the name symbolizes hope and resilience.
